Billy Elliot

Shows · Billy Elliot

In a northern English mining town during the 1984 miners' strike, eleven-year-old Billy Elliot discovers a passion for ballet when he stumbles into a class held in the same hall as his boxing lessons. Despite fierce opposition from his working-class father and brother, Billy pursues his dream with the support of his tough-love teacher Mrs. Wilkinson, ultimately earning a place at the Royal Ballet School.
